Update June 29, 2009
Cristian had been living in a small single room house with 20 people before coming to Por Los Niños. He
seemed to feel a little bit lost in his big new house with half as many people. He was painfully shy and
withdrawn in the beginning, but is really happy now that he’s settled in. He is learning good manners and
respect. He’s bright and eager to please.
